Surefire Resources NL (ASX:SRN) has defined nine new priority drill targets at its 100%-owned Yidby Gold Project in Western Australia.
The targets have been delineated from IP and structural reinterpretations, and present potential for depth extensions of current mineralised intercepts into a deeper porphyry system.
External consultants CSA Global were commissioned to review the induced polarisation (IP) survey, structural interpretation from diamond drill cores and interpretation from re-logging of drill chips.
The IP survey re-interpretation reveals high chargeability zones with a distinct correlation between the chargeability of gold mineralisation intersected to date. Of these, five drill targets are recommended as high priority.
Structural interpretation by CSA shows potential for downdip extensions to the porphyry and stock work mineralised system. Four drill targets are recommended as being a high priority.
The re-logging reaffirms both the IP and structural interpretations for the potential depth extensions to the current mineralisation and potential for a larger mineralised system at depth to be tested.
Surefire says this work has greatly enhanced the understanding of the mineral system and the controls to the gold mineralisation that has been intersected.
Work ahead
The company will plan a drill program for all nine recommended high-priority targets and submit a program of works (PoW) to the West Australian Department of Energy Mines Industry Regulation and Safety (DEMIRS) for this work.
Surefire intends to combine this program with the forthcoming drilling of the copper anomalies at the Phat Boy prospect.
